Wednesday, 13 May 2026

Sport’s biggest stories today sit at the intersection of conduct, politics and global events. In Japan, Eddie Jones has been suspended for four matches and fined after the rugby union found he verbally abused match officials during an Under-23 tour of Australia, a punishment that will sideline him for key fixtures including the Nations Championship opener. In the United States, the NFL is facing fresh political and legal pressure after Florida’s attorney general subpoenaed the league over the Rooney Rule and wider diversity hiring policies, demanding records on how those practices actually work. Golf offered a calmer note, with Europe captain Luke Donald welcoming confirmation that Jon Rahm will be eligible for the 2027 Ryder Cup, removing a major planning headache. And with the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching, Washington has moved to waive hefty visa bonds for some ticket-holders, easing access for overseas fans.
